“So you are offended when store personnel wish you ‘Happy Holidays’ instead of ‘Merry Christmas’. Would you be offended if a Jewish storekeeper wished you a ‘Happy Chanukah’ or an African-American said ‘Happy Kwanza’? Not all people celebrate the same holidays or did you not know this already? ‘Happy Holidays’ recognizes our differences and celebrates us all.”

“If you don’t like our beautiful, drunken college party town with a crime, drug and gang problem, Delta is ready when you are!”

“As we approach the holidays, please be considerate about leftovers. One year by the time all the in-laws were done picking their favorite ‘I only eat the white meat’ to-go leftovers, there was not enough meat left on the turkey to boil for soup much less for my family to make a turkey sandwich; also no dressing, etc. And, I never got my plastic containers back either!”

“Most restaurants are too loud and it’s puzzling why they add to the noise by playing music when hardly anyone would miss it if turned off. Tests have shown that decibels in many of them contribute to long-term hearing loss. They would turn it down or off if they knew what I know about hearing problems!”

“Comcast cable is the worst rip off I have ever seen. I have digital preferred and Comcast wants an extra $9.95 for a cable box for every TV I have in the house. I don’t see how our city leaders can allow this one company who has a monopoly on TV service in the Savannah area. You pay for the cable service and they want to charge you for each additional TV you have. We should really be up in arms.”

“Let teachers teach. Let students learn. Whatever else that’s on an administrator’s agenda can wait for a 25 hour day. We’re beat. Leave us be .”

“The problem with the holidays is the fact that many parents have too many expectations when it comes to them. Don’t try to create the best or most elaborate Christmas or Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time you have with the people you love. Some of my favorite family moments were just spontaneous fun. You can’t plan that.”

This is the END of 2013....H.D. Tv is now 4,000 plus lines of resolution, Not the 1080 that the CHEAPEST tv at wallmart ( about 100 $ ) now calls STANDARD. Those little cigarette size boxes they " GAVE ??? " you makes the cheap wallmart tv look like SH**. If you want it to look as it SHOULD,... you have to rent a HD box to make it look almost as good as it does on rabbit ears.

Direct TV will give you the 1080 on every set, and not charge anything EXTRA to do it. Those little "cigarette boxes" should be tossed....with every CRT type TV when they expire. ( but don't do it.... comcast will bill you hundreds of bucks if you don't return the little piece of junk. )
